cnn's martin savidge joins us from cleveland. early voting, martin, very important for the president. how's it looking where you are in cleveland right now? >> reporter: well, at least the cnn poll of the early voters seem to be going very much in president obama's favor. let me point out something here. the early voting has finally come to an end in the state of ohio. the reason i say finally is it began october 2nd. it ended at 2:00 this afternoon. the complete tallies for the state are not up. but up until friday, 1.6 million early votes were cast. of that, 1.1 million were absentee ballots. in cuyahoga county, 282,589 votes were cast. here's the number that could end up haunting the state. 1.3 million absentee ballots were sent out. so far, 1.1 million have come back. 200,000 absentee ballots still out there somewhere. the worry is that many of those ballots could actually be people who show up to vote on election day. they can do that but they'll be given a provisional ballot. we already know there's a lot of legal wrangling

he's the host of cnn's fareed zakaria gps. fareed, you heard what george mitchell is saying, his experience in the region, do you believe there's a real possibility this could turn out to be an all-out war? >> no. i don't. i think that at the end of the day, keep in mind, israel has the most powerful military in the region by far. this provides enormous deterrent capacity by which the president of egypt might make fiery speeches, the president of turkey might say some emotional things. none of them are going to risk taking on the israeli military. so i think the reality is you'll see a very lopsided contest between the most powerful military in the middle east and gaza and hamas who have some few hundred rockets. it's going to raise political tensions. it's going to make it much harder to see how israel ever gets to a comprehensive peace, ever able to negotiate with the palestinians. all those things remain true. but at the end of the day, issues of war and peace these countries like egypt and turkey are very, very careful and

cnn's brian todd is on the island. he's joining us live. brian, tell us what's going on. >> reporter: wolf, we're in the new dorf beach section cedar grove avenue. this place is still flooded out even after the waters receded. people just barely able to kind of wade through the water, try to get to homes and assess damage. you've got a church that's flooded out here to your left, my right. and our photo journalist can pan back over this way down marine way. look down here with just the debris and people trying to gather things and bring things out and clear their homes of all the wreckage. what we know now, wolf, is that the bodies of two young boys who were washed away from their mother during the storm have been found. they were found in a marsh not too far away from here. now, that brings the death toll we think to a little bit more than the dozen people that we knew of before. exact numbers i don't have. but it's more than a dozen now just on staten island were killed by this. hundreds of homes have been damaged or completely destroyed.

i'm joined by cnn's legal analy analyst jeffrey toobin. we're talking about marijuana for recreational purposes. there's a big difference. >> it is. and the governor is quite clear and right. it is not legal under federal law to possess marijuana. now, what makes this a peculiar situation is that in most jurisdictions when i was assistant u.s. attorney in new york, we had rules. we didn't prosecute under federal except very large quantities of marijuana. we left that to the states. here, apparently, the state is not going to prosecute. but even though the federal government doesn't generally prosecute, it's still illegal. so obviously there has to be some sort of negotiation here or people are taking a terrible risk. >> so what's the next legal step? the folks in colorado think that they're going to be able to go buy marijuana and use it for fun, whatever, and the federal government says not so fast. >> right. when the federal government government -- the obama administration has been quite clear that they are going to enforce federal law.
